of the ball was much spent, SO that it

Somebody wrote to the editor of a
village paper to ask how he would
"break an OK" The editor replied as
follows: "lf only one OK, good way
would be TO hoist him, by means of
u long chain attached to his tail, to
the top of It pole forty feet from the
ground. Then hoist him by a rope
tied to his horns to another pole.
Then descend on his back a tive-ton
pile driver, and if that don't break
him let him start a country newspaper
and trust people for subscriptions.
One of the two ways will do it sure"
Our old friend, j. W. Palmer, sends
US the above, taken from the Boston
Globe. Joe evidently appreciates one
of the hardships of country editors
life, we refer to the system of trusting
people for their paper, something we
have never had to do in his case, for
he believes in the advance system.

Claims of this kind, and there are many of them from Arizona, are now referred to the commissioner of Indian affairs and claims con- mittee, and no action is ever taken of them. The commissioner of Indian affairs has recommended the creation of this new con- mittee.

Notes from San Jose.

Flowing is just now occupying the attention of the farmers of San Jose. Some rye is about to be sown. There is not 8 pound of rye raised in the county, and the rye flour used IS imported from California. More land is being cleared and fenced-yes, with two strands of the cruelest kind of fencing that was ever invented, the barbed wire, that your horses may be on and off again in the space of minute with the blood streaming from his chest and fore legs because of its invisibility.
 The services of Mir. Martineau, the county surveyor, have been in requisition the past week running land lines. The people of San Jose are waking up to the fact that land has a value, and with the new mining region being opened up at their doors they have a market for their produce which hitherto has been wanting, Clifton seeming to prefer to i'm port from California, even if home raised produce IS offered at the same price.
 There is a revival of prospecting on the Glla range There is a prominent ridge two or three miles long which is vast deposit, or rather innumerable deposits, of gold and silver which will require hundreds of men to extract its immense wealth and scores of stamps and a large smelter to re- duce its ores. Considering the amount of prospecting done on this mountain rldge the showing is splendid, and there is sufficient evidence to warrant the belief that the grandest results will follow the efforts of skilled labor directed by enterprising capital.
 The success now attending the prospector is no doubt due to the experience that many of them have had in mining the peculiar kinds of rock prevalent in the district.
 Before they became familiar with the nature of the various for nations failures were the rule and success the exception, but now the order is reversed. Ledges are now under the process of develop ment on this ridge which will soon astonish the mining world by their uniformly rich yeild of gold. The quartz is in color red dish and again some of it is blush tint, and all very fine gold rock, carrying rich sulphurets.
 If any capitalist who means business wants to become inter ested in a rich quartz lode, let hlm call upon J. B. Bessner of Solo monville and get posted.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, I TERRITORY OF ARIZONA, OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR.

 To ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME, GREETING: WHEREAS, I am informed that William c. Drake, late private, Troop G., 4th Cavalry, was found murdered, at Sulphur Springs, south of Wilcox, Arizona, on the 29th day of September last, and no trace of the murderer or murderers has been discovered.
 Now, therefore, I, c. Meyer Zulick, Governor of the Territory of Arizona, by virtue of the authority in me vested, do hereby offer and proclaim a reward of five hundred dollars for arrest and conviction of the murderer or murderers of the said William c. Drake.
 In Witness Whereof, I have set my
 hand and caused the great [sEALl seal of the Territory to be
 affixed hereto. Done at Prescott, the Capital, the 26th day of November, A. D. 1887.

 The party on the 9th inst. for the benefit of the school was largely attended and was the most successful, both financially and socially, ever given here. Some thing over S57 was realized, and after the necessary expenses were paid neat little sum was left for the school. Dancing began early in the evening and was continued until nearly 4 o'clock. A most en- ioyable feature of the occasion was an elegant lunch prepared by the ladies and served at 1 o'clock. The ladies from Carlisle who graced the scene with their pres ence were the Misses Bailey and Lemons and Messrs. Oswald and Bertcher.
 Kid Lewis, the murderer of Ed. Fitzgerald at Carlisle, was taken to Silver City on the 18th. The particulars of his capture may be of interest, as they reflect credit upon the citizens of our town who arrested him.
 Late Thursday night word was brought to town that he had been seen on the railroad about eight miles from here. John Parks and four others at once started out and rode to Horseshoe ranch, 30 miles from town. It was then decided to have three men SCOUT the coun- try for signs and for Parks and c. w. Jones to stop at the ranch. At about 3 o'clock on the evening of the next day (Friday) the Kid came walking up to the stone house in which were Parks and Jones. When they first threw down on him the Kid made q motion to get his gun into a posi- tion to fire, but sooE weakened and gave up. It was clever piece of work, and Messrs. John and James Parks, Charley Jones, Wm. Paxton and J. c. Epley are entitled to much praise and what ever reward there may be. Men like Kid Lewis are detriment to any country, and his speedy ar rest will have the effect of deter ring others of his class from com mitting such crimes.
